From lassis (cold, refreshing yogurt drinks) to fruit to curries to chapathi to seafood to payasam, India has so many fanciful delights to offer. I think instead of getting the Delhi belly, we'll be getting the Indian belly from stuffing ourselves....can anyone say Freshman 15 part deux??
It's hard to explain and describe all of them in this one writing, so I'll try to give some highlights:
- Saffron lassi with pomegranate seeds
- Warm jalebi (like a thin donut)
- Fresh prawns and butter fish (from down south)
- Pasayam - close to rice pudding, but with vermecelli noodles, cashews, dates and milk, served warm
- Masala dosa - think pancake-like bread sometimes stuffed with vegetables and dipped in masala curry (Nate's favorite breakfast dish)
-Fresh Juices - just avoid the dark carrot juice...it will curl your toes it's so intense!
-Curries, Curries, Curries - totally different depending on the region
-Barfi - one of the many bite-sized sweets that you always have room for
-Streetside chai
-goat's meat - sounds weird, we know, but it's actually quite good
